Jobs that only require a CV and covering letter or just a CV usually get a lot more applicants than those with tailored application forms, simply because they are much easier to apply for. Might as well make the extra effort.

Very many employers only ask for a CV and a covering letter as an application. Very many employers choose to use an online form. Which method employers use is a matter of personal preference, type of job, level of recruitment, outlay on HR and can also change over time.

It would not even be possible to produce a website that listed all employers and the methods they use to recruit. It was a daft question which made no sense, so I explained that a CV and a covering letter was a full application, and asked you for more information - what do you mean?

A CV and a covering letter are a 'full application', what are you talking about?
